The Ghana Medical Association, GMA, has called on its members to continue providing full services without interruptions, despite tomorrow’s nationwide strike announced by Organized Labour.
A statement by the GMA President, Dr. Frank Serebour said the ‘‘Ghana Medical Association has not declared a roadmap for industrial action. Therefore, all members are expected to continue providing full services without interruptions.”
He also expressed the GMA’s solidarity with Organized Labour in its campaign against illegal mining, also referred to as “galamsey”, but emphasized that the GMA would not be joining the strike yet.
The statement said the National Executive Council will provide further information when necessary. Meanwhile, Dr Vishnu Nene Limon Abayateye, a member of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has submitted a formal petition for the removal of the Association’s President, Dr Frank Serebour.
This follows Dr Serebour’s directive to members of the Association to continue to work despite Organised Labour’s insistence on its nationwide strike action on Thursday, October 10, 2024.
Dr Abayateye’s petition dated October 8 and addressed to the General Secretary of the GMA outlines serious allegations against Dr. Serebour including issuing a statement on behalf of the GMA without consulting the National Executive Council or the General Assembly.
